Who says your mouse pad has to just help your mouse move smoothly across your desktop? These clever paper mouse pads help you keep track of everything from your daily to-do list to making note of your many moods.
The most practical of the bunch is the Information Central pad, which helps you track things to do, people to call/e-mail, and other miscellaneous to-dos.
A little more whimsical option is the Daily Mood Tracker mouse pad, which keeps your mood swings in check from day-to-day. Now you can finally figure out if you really are an A-hole on Mondays and everyone’s best bud on Fridays. I get bad memories just thinking about having to fill in all those standardized test-like bubbles - and I forgot my No. 2 pencil, so I can’t erase!
Last, but not least is the Random Dawdle, which gives you a place to scribble down miscellaneous ideas, websites, drawings and other random stuff. I’m not sure what the point of the dotted-outline letters are, but I figure that just contributes to the randomness.
All pads ship with 60 tear-off sheets, giving you about 2 months of everyday use before you need to invest in a new mouse pad. You can grab all three designs over at Perpetual Kid for $9.99 a pad.

If you’ve got a ton of portable gadgets, you know how much of a pain it is to keep all your cables and chargers in order. This simple and elegant gadget organizer aims to bring order to all the chaos.
Bluelounge’s appropriately named The Sanctuary gives all of your portable electronics a single, tidy home that they can live in when you’re done running around for the day. Just set your gadgets on the reversible scratch-free surface, plug ‘em into the charging connectors, and you’re set.
Instead of trying to cram a bunch of factory chargers under the hood, Sanctuary provides a single charging bay and an arsenal of connectors which let you plug in just about any combination of devices you can think of. There’s also a USB connector for charging gadgets without proprietary connectors too.
In all, the $130 Sanctuary box provides connections for over 1500 gadgets, including phones, media players, portable gaming systems, digital cameras, PDAs and more. To see if your device can be charged by The Sanctuary, check out the compatibility chart here. It even comes in both 110-volt and 220-volt versions, so it should work in most parts of the world with no problems.
You can find The Sanctuary over at Charles & Marie (which just happens to be one of my favorite places to find really cool gifts online - be sure to check out their other wares when you drop by).

It’s been a hot minute since Teac introduced its first tabletop vinyl-to-CD sound machine, but the retrofied device is getting an appreciated upgrade in the GF-650. This unit touts an AM / FM radio, auxiliary input jack, wireless remote, CD player, and of course, a record player. As expected, users simply load in a CD-R / RW, queue up their favorite record, and walk away (or hang around, it’s up to you) as the real-time transfer takes place. As for output, it’s got a meager 3.5-watt x 2 amplifier, and it should be on sale right now in Japan for a staggering ¥83,790 ($740).
